Open letter to CHP

I wasn't going to say anything, but after watching Atilla Yesilada take this on at his morning newsreading show, I have gathered enough courage (I took out a bottle from the CBT's bootlegged whiskeys to help me out) to speak out:

I had been wondering some time now what CHP's economics agenda is, so I was glad when news of part of their economic program, the "family insurance" scheme, began to appear in the papers last week. Apparently, there is a book that explains the program, but it is nowhere to be found! I emailed the CHP's web site, even asked a former MP to help me get it, but to no avail. And obviously there is no copy on the web. Come on guys, how difficult could putting a Pdf version on the web be? Definitely not more difficult than an Arabic web site...

Besides, we have yet to see CHP's full economic program. In an interview in Radikal yesterday, Umut Oran, one of CHP's top brass gave some hints, but only on the contents. It is three and half months until the elections, and I have no idea what the main opposition party's economic agenda is. Although the same Umut Oran (then an opponent of the CHP leader Denise the Menace Baykal) had accused the CHP leadership of not desiring to come to power, as Atilla Yesilada aptly put it a couple of hours ago, CHP is indeed still striving hard to stay in the opposition.

It seems that, although I am not sure it will last 1000 years, the AKP's rule is sure to be longer than the thousand-year Reich, which lasted only 12 years. Especially if the CHP's attitude on disclosing its economic program is any guide...
